Thirsk Chiropractic Clinic

Chiropractor: Jessica Johnson

Jessica is a graduate of the Welsh Institute of Chiropractic at the University
of Glamorgan (now known as the University of South Wales) where she successfully completed a four year undergraduate
degree course. After spending her early years in Venezuela she was brought
up in Retford, Nottinghamshire where her interest in chiropractic and its
approach to health care was stimulated after receiving treatment for a low
back condition.

She has had a case study of a patient presenting with low back pain who had a "Porcelain Gallbladder" published in the prestigious chiropractic journal "The Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics." As an extension of this interest Jessica is able to conduct Food Intolerance tests. For some people this is an importannt part of their care as an intolerance to certain food stuffs can cause many different symptoms.

Paediatric care is also an area of special interest having attended many seminars and workshops in this subject. She has developed her expertise in this field and sees a growing number of children and babies. Having a young family of her own now has given her an insight into the problems related to the developing spine and nervous system.

Jessica is available for consultations at the Thirsk Clinic on Monday morning and Thursday afternoon. She also works at the Ripon Chiropractic Clinic on a Tuesday and Friday.
